    Then why are they keeping the sources of their funds secret?

    No. But if you think things through, there comes a point when those who are tolerant have to stop being tolerant with the intolerant ones, to prevent intolerance from taking over. (I am not talking about this particular mosque.) Freedom (also freedom of religion) is not completely limitless.

    Probably because they are a private non-profit and that's what most non-profits do. If I give funds to Goodwill, I don't expect them to publish that information.

    I do like your presumption of guilt though. Perhaps you do believe in the Saudi standards.

    You're the one who asked for proof that they aren't guilty. Besides which, the proof that you ask for would violate people's privacy, and put those people in the crosshairs of all the ridiculous protesters.

    Your above claim on someone else's statement/view/argument is now the official silver standard of Irony. The gold standard is shown below.

    A lot of poor communication in this thread.

    ATW being German, I assume he's thinking about how the Weimar Republic allowed parties like the Nazis to join the political discourse despite being anti-democratic, and that political tolerance eventually killed democracy in Germany. This rationale of not tolerating the intolerant is the basis for outlawing Nazi and neo-Nazi parties in Germany today, and limiting free speech when it comes to racist ideology. But, he said he's not talking about this mosque here anyway, so I don't think it much matters.
